Paramedics working at 40 Quebec ambulance services across the province, including the provincial capital, began a strike today
Daniel Chouinard, the president of the union that represents the paramedics, says the strike won’t affect the level of care provided to patients due to the province’s essential services law.
Chouinard says the union wants the same salary and retirement conditions as other health-care workers in the province. Outside of the cities of Montreal and Laval, ambulance services in Quebec are offered by private companies who contract with regional health authorities, though salaries are set by the province.
